N.I.

(1A) Where a hereditament is distinguished in the capital value list under Article 41 as exempt from rates under that list to one-half of the extent to which it is used for domestic purposes which are also exempting purposes, its rateable capital value shall be—

(a) one-half of its capital value if it is wholly used for domestic purposes which are also exempting purposes; or

(b) if an apportionment is shown in the capital value list under paragraph (3A) of that Article, the aggregate of—

(i) one-half of so much of its capital value as is shown in the capital value list as apportioned to the use of the hereditament for domestic purposes which are also exempting purposes; and

(ii) the whole of so much of the capital value as is shown in the capital value list as apportioned to the use of the hereditament for other purposes (so far as relevant to its capital value).

(3) Where a hereditament is distinguished in [F5 the NAV list] as exempt from rates by virtue of Article 12(3) of the 2006 Order, its [F6 rateable net annual value shall be the same proportion of its net annual value as its rateable value was of its net annual value immediately before the commencement of the amendments of this sub-paragraph by Schedule 2 to the Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006] .

(4) Where a hereditament is distinguished in [F7 the NAV list] by virtue of paragraph (4) of Article 12 of the 2006 Order, its [F8 rateable net annual value] shall be the same proportion of its net annual value as the [F8 rateable net annual value] of the original hereditament was of its net annual value immediately before it ceased to be occupied as mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) of that paragraph.

[F9 (4A) Where the original hereditament ceased to be so occupied before the commencement of the insertion of this paragraph by Schedule 2 to the Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, the second reference in sub-paragraph (4) to its rateable net annual value shall be construed as a reference to its rateable value.]
